EMDR Therapy Intensives (especially for neurodivergent adults who are done masking their way through therapy)
EMDR intensives in Texas
Online & In-person
Can you break up with traditional therapy?
Can you break up with traditional therapy?
It’s not you. It’s the format.
EMDR intensives ditch the drip-feed approach and give your brain the actual time and space it needs to process, shift, and settle. No more circling the same insights every week. No more wondering if the "healing" part is going to start eventually. We get in, get grounded, and do the work at a pace that respects your depth and your nervous system.
You’re not paying to watch hours on a clock tick by.
You’re investing in your momentum. In finally getting traction. In not having to drag your healing out over six months of explaining the same thing twenty different ways. In not having to start and stop with a therapist who probably doesn’t get you anyway only to change insurance, get ghosted by your therapist, move to a new state, change schedules, or just lose the drive to keep showing up because, what’s the fucking point, anyway?

Your nervous system doesn’t work in 50-minute chunks. Especially if you’re neurodivergent, trauma-wired, or just deeply analytical and emotionally layered (aka gifted as hell). You need space to drop in, get past the social mask, and actually access the stuff underneath. Extended sessions allow for that without getting cut off just when it’s getting real.
We build in time to settle, to move, to breathe, to close loops so you leave with clarity, not a vulnerability hangover. What typically takes 3–6 months of weekly therapy can often be done in a single intensive.
That’s less emotional fatigue, fewer calendar gymnastics, and more energy freed up for the actual living you came here to reclaim. Or find.

Extended sessions (2–3 hours or split full-day options) to allow for real unfolding — not constant restarting
A neurodivergent-affirming environment that doesn’t pathologize your way of thinking, sensing, or processing
Flexible use of tools — fidgets, whiteboards, art supplies, analog metaphors, chairs that spin, space to pace — if it helps, we’ll use it
Therapy that moves with you — emotionally, physically, cognitively — instead of asking you to flatten or compress your experience into neat little boxes

I specialize in therapy intensives because they work — especially for neurodivergent adults and complex trauma survivors who need more than what weekly sessions can offer. I’ve completed advanced training in intensive therapy formats, including how to safely structure extended sessions and support integration that leads to lasting change.
My approach is rooted in relational and progressive EMDR, supported by ongoing consultation with fellow EMDR clinicians, and enriched by extended training in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), IFS-informed parts work, and somatic trauma interventions. This isn’t just longer therapy — it’s a whole different way of engaging the work, with your nervous system at the center.
I also bring training in psychedelic integration frameworks, which I apply even in non-psychedelic contexts. These tools help clients make sense of intense emotional material, align with meaningful insights, and sustain growth long after the session ends. Whether you’re processing a major shift, a trauma memory, or a moment of clarity you don’t want to lose, this kind of integrative support helps ground the experience and move it forward.
I stay in consultation and continuing education because I take this work seriously. You deserve therapy that’s not just deep, but skillfully held.

Does therapy feel like one more place you have to explain yourself?
If you’ve spent your life trying to translate yourself, therapy probably hasn’t felt like a place to exhale. Maybe it’s felt like one more system to navigate — one more conversation where you had to show up polished, calm, coherent. And maybe you’ve done the once-a-week thing for months (or years) and still left wondering if anything’s really shifting. You’re tired of spending 45 minutes warming up and 5 minutes feeling only to be told, “Let’s pick this up next week.”
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re not too much.
You’re just ready for something more.
EMDR intensives give you the time and space to go deep. No dragging things out week by week. The “standard session” exists because it fit neatly into paperwork, not because it’s the most effective format for trauma work, neurodivergent processing, or real transformation, but it doesn’t have to. You deserve better.
No More Dragging It Out
Therapy intensives are focused, immersive sessions that actually get to the root of what’s been holding you back — without the slow crawl of traditional therapy timelines. Each intensive is designed around you, not a formula.
We’ll take time up front to name what’s going on underneath the surface, clarify your goals, and use a personalized workbook to track your insights and guide your next steps — during and after our time together.
Your healing isn’t just a bonus. It’s almost like it’s the whole point.
How We’ll Work
While most of my intensives center around relational, progressive EMDR, every intensive session is integrative and collaborative.
Depending on your needs, we may weave together:
Parts work (IFS) to explore the internal “voices” you’ve learned to hide or fight
Somatic and sensorimotor processing to shift what talk therapy often misses
Expressive and creative arts — including visual mapping, writing, or metaphor
Outdoor or eco-therapy, gardening, movement, even cooking — because some truths don’t live in words
Movement-based healing, from gentle grounding to dance or even parkour, if that’s what helps you drop into your body and reclaim your space
No masking. No fixing. No rushing. Just space to move toward the relief you’ve been craving in ways that actually fit your brain and body.
This Is for You If…
You’re neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, or complex trauma history) or anyone for whom the status quo isn’t a good fit
You feel stuck between high insight and low traction
You want to stop circling the same patterns and actually start shifting them
You want therapy that honors creativity, intuition, and nonlinear ways of healing
It’s time to move through it—for real.
Our intensives can happen in my office right here in Houston in the beautiful, historic neighborhood of Woodland Heights, online anywhere in Texas, on-location as private retreats, or even in your own home, if that’s where your nervous system feels most at ease. Whether we meet in a quiet room, a backyard, or a borrowed cabin in the woods — we’ll build it around what you need. Nothing performative. Nothing forced. Just the space and support to do the real work, whether you’re just starting out or ready to close out a lifetime of hard, therapeutic work.
Just real, grounded healing: the kind you’ve been waiting for.
